Tasting - Trapiche Oak Cask Malbec

Name: Trapiche Oak Cask Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2014
Price: $12

Winery Review: Purple-colored, the nose offers up plum and black cherry notes with a touch of black pepper. The palate is soft and round with ripe, saturated berry flavors. Finishes spicy and full with chewy tannins.


My Review:
The nose is quite pungent with hints of cherries and raspberries with a note of vanilla. The taste is similar with an oakiness readily present. It has quite the fruity component with black cherry. Vanilla is present on the finish. It is very acidic with a bite at the end.
